ill explain to all of these in order, but first of all, you never played a firewaller do you? because most of these are wrong
1.1 - you do not need fhr or fcr in this build, you walk more than you teleporte, and firewall have slow cast delay, and u cant sacrifice -fire res really because thats what profide so much damage
2.1 - i didnt mention desynch about these because if they start to run, they cant stop to cast arrow, because once they stop you fw them and firewall isnt affected by dodge, so about 1 sec into the fire they die, and for glass canon, they get an instant death
2 - you dont know whats firewall damage do you? u underestime it pretty much
3- ghost do rape this build, thats why its written hard
4- well, some trappers are offensive ofc, but i will not state everyexception, same reason why i didnt make strategy for fire trapper, fire druid, and all the uncommon causes. Ofc theres more offensive trappers than fire druid and things like that, but i only state the most common ones, and once again, i wrote hard, because ull get stunted pretty bad, and with fhr/fcr u do no damage to her, and with damage build you get stunted
5- i didnt say they would, i just say if their ww does the most damage, his trap will suck, so youi dont care about them, same for stronger traps
6- here i think u missed that part, All you have to do is walk and cast firewall as they cast slow bone spirit, once you casted firewall they will tele away, you follow them and at same time all bone spirits will be left behind
and obv i wont state everything about dueling, if you still need to learn everything, make an hdin not a firewall sorc
7- i didnt state hydra on most chars, because it is only as a suggested skills
8- if the bvc see you, he wont continu to leap, he will attack, so you make wall and walk down it, or if he only leap u go offensive, but once again, they can be hard as i stated
9- again, if you dont know not to teleport on hammer than you shouldnt make a firewaller, and for inv hammer, you namelock him and gently wait
10- did u read my guide? i wrote that i dont consider bming, and stacked resist is bm
11- foh dies in about 1 wall, so i didnt wrote a whole gg guide to deal about them, since you gets like no damage from them as a 95% es, you almost regen faster than ur mana go down
12- except real zeal have negative resistances
13. not gonna mention sorcs since that is a class I'm not familiar to. ( you should do the same .. don't guess. rather post that you don't know cos you haven't dueled one )
well, you're comenting on my sorc and u dont know much about them? ive had about 10 sorces, and ive curently 3, 1 fb, 1blizz, 1 firewall, all i do is sorc vs sorc because this is the most entertaining duel, so please
ill stop here and repeat what u just told me
have you even dueled a firewall sorc? have u ever had a firewall sorc?
heres what u said : ( you should do the same .. don't guess. rather post that you don't know cos you haven't dueled one )
What are you doing here? you suppose about everything, i duel with my sorc everydays, every duelers on east ladder mostly know her, she rapes in 4v4 gm, and in 1v1 gm
i wrote that i had the char since 2 weeks, but i respeced my fireball sorc into a firewall for about 2 weeks too, so 1 month isnt enough to master a char?
the only one who can make critic here is Tommyvv, because he had a firewall sorc, but again he didnt consider everything about what he wrote
so please, make one and review all that once u dueled!
you failed to see my point. these are examples of what I would add or change to improve your guide. it's called constructive crit. aka trying to help..you asked for things people would change. I did that and now you are flaming me? the fact that you are even defending yourself proves the flaws in this guide. It is original yes but not well documented.
now on to your month of experience on a two month old ladder..I atm have a hybrid on ladder.. I have no experience playing assas.. the gear is average.. yet in the past month I have died vs 3 chars and lost 1 ft5.. does that make me good? hell no..I suck.. this just to prove the level of opposition we are talking about. you can critique many things but saying you have enough experience to share is a lie. many of your tactics are guesses and others are based around beating weak opponents making them false vs good opponents. And any strat that you post that doesn't give the best results is a lie and should not be posted to begin with.
on to my experience with fire waller. have I had one? no.. do i know how to duel with one? no.. does that make my opinion void and wrong? no.. as you said yourself. fw is much like blizz. so what I do know is how I would duel vs this kind of char with characters I have played with..which is what I based my constructive criticism on. further I am here pointing out flaws in your strat that an enemy can take advantage of. you are writing a guide ffs. there are people that actually listen to what you say so fix it.
on to respective tactics. first I would like to mention that posting that you forgot to mention certain enemy strats was an attempt at helping improve the guide but you obviously don't want to change anything so stop asking for suggestions.
secondly i would like to quote sun tzu :"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle." I am trying to get you to the first part. you claim to be in the middle. in fact you are the latter..
and sorry but I am not the only person that has this opinion.. saw at least 2 posts saying that pvp section is lol. I am the only person that explained why and tried to help and you snap at me.. think about that
and seriously I know things about your build that you neglect. consider the width( not length ) of the firewall you are standing in. consider the range of melee chars.. do the math..dueling is knowing what you are fighting. you should read guides and react to their strats. you should practice and look for flaws in the build to exploit.
you may say that we do the same when guessing certain match ups.. and perhaps that is true. but I'm not the one with the guide and I would at least have the balls to admit a flaw.
now I've spent enough time posting in here answering to your if there is anything you would change bs question and no gratitude is shown. If you can't handle feedback don't ask for it.simple as that. either take it in. try grasp it's message and say thank you for your opinion. some of this is helpfull rather than attack me for what appears to be time wasted.
